Summary Whenever they want to do mining again, they should do it far from the people and not the way they did it this time. They should explain to everyone what the advantages and disadvantages are. People need to know what to expect. —Nagomba E., Mwabulambo, March 8, 2016 Nagomba E., 75, has lived all her life in Mwabulambo, a small rural community in northern Malawi. Like most women in the area, she works as a farmer to support her family—her husband and three grandchildren who survived their own parents—growing rice, maize, and cassava close to her home. In 2008, she was surprised to find strangers driving big trucks and carrying heavy machinery near her crop fields. They were workers of...

Summary Neal Scott may die in prison. A 49-year-old Black man from New Orleans, Neal had cycled in and out of prison for drug possession over a number of years. He said he was never offered treatment for his drug dependence; instead, the criminal justice system gave him time behind bars and felony convictions—most recently, five years for possessing a small amount of cocaine and a crack pipe. When Neal was arrested in May 2015, he was homeless and could not walk without pain, struggling with a rare autoimmune disease that required routine hospitalizations. Because he could not afford his $7,500 bond, Neal remained in jail for months, where he did not receive proper medication and his health...

Madam Speaker, I rise to present the Budget for the year 2016-17. 2. I am presenting this Budget when the global economy is in serious crisis. Global growth has slowed down from 3.4% in 2014 to 3.1% in 2015. Financial markets have been battered and global trade has contracted. Amidst all these global headwinds, the Indian economy has held its ground firmly. Thanks to our inherent strengths and the policies of this Government, a lot of confidence and hope continues to be built around India. 3. The International Monetary Fund has hailed India as a 'bright spot' amidst a slowing global economy. The World Economic Forum has said that India's growth is 'extraordinarily high'. We accomplished this...

The roadside chefs

From the kitchen Street food, I believe, is the salvation of the human race,’ said Anthony Bourdain and any visitor at the innumerable kiosks seen around the city would agree with him wholeheartedly. The snacks available on the roadside are part of the cultural milieu of any metropolis and Bengaluru’s quick bites are no exception. From burgers, pizzas and rolls one can traverse to the other end of the gastronomic spectrum with ‘chaats’, ‘dosas’ and ‘samosas’ and still have room for a ‘kulfi’ at the end of it all. But sometimes we are so focussed on the delicacies being dished out, that...

Ankit Kawatra once attended a grand wedding which had nearly 10,000 attendees and over 35 cuisines. Amazed at the surplus quantity, he wondered what would happen to the food and decided to stay back — a decision which led to the conceptualisation of Feeding India, a not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to connect two major social problems — hunger and food waste — as a solution for each other. “I witnessed heaps of leftover food, which could have easily fed 5,000 people, being sent straight to the bin. I thought if it was not going to be me who solves this challenge; it was not going to be anyone else. There was no point waiting. At 23, I have the...
